This is normal, out of the box, depending on the version of Word your friend is using. There are additional converters that can be installed, both from the Word (or Office) CD and more from downloadable ones. If you do just the standard install, there's a lot left off. Have your friend try to find 'Additional Converters for Word' on Microsloth's labyrinthine support site. -- "Wherever you go, there you are." - B.
